<< i got a pair of timberland work boots at sears a few years ago, they were around $100, however the bottom broke in half after 6 months, literally, you could fold the shoe in half, i wear cat's now, composite toe (same as steel toe, but um, not steel) they were $110 at work world >>
Doesn't Timberland offer a warranty for that? I'm sure you could probably get another pair from them if you let them know.
